Fred,
It might be time for you to consider a Historical Restoration Class, I know you do these very well. It would be very informative to our partners to know what can and cannot be done when working on historical projects

No i would not do that for several reasons
first, its historic and against the Secretary of Interiors Guidelines
second, it may make it worse and than you wont be able to reverese it.

Maybe I will poultice one more time over the long weekend to see if it lightens up. As an alternative, is there anything similar to a grout color-seal that I might apply to the marble to mask the spots. I have never actually thought about this, but wonder if such a thing exists.

you can poultice forever and I dont think you will get all the iron out of there.

Hi,
I am also working on some 100 year old fireplaces in an old mansion that look like they haven't been touched ever. I am dealing basically with a soot/rust problem (see picture below). There is an iron/steel grate in the fireplace that we removed. there are many brown spots along the border of the fireplace box. We honed the hearth to 50 grit (marble) and treated the spots about 5 times for 5-10 minutes with rsr 2000, and then poulticed for a few days. The spots are a little lighter but still there. Anything more I can do other than continue poulticing? thanks,
Baird
